I love motw, in fact, I almost prefer them to Kayo Dot, even though they are two slightly different animals.....

Yes I have heard Spoonion! Interesting to say the least...and rather humorous.

Wow. I just wrote my "Bath" review, and it was a hard thing to do. Too much to say. It ended up being quite long. Here's a link if you're interested: Bath review What's scary is that, later, I have to do my "Leaving Your Body Map" review....hopefully, it'll be a bit shorter, eh

Also, I just wanted to say, I love this band.

That was an exhausting review, I was afraid to call bath perfect, yet you managed to say it in the first sentences! Thats courage!

Excellent review, beat mine!

Thanks man! It was exhausting to write, trust me! It's very difficult to put how I feel about this band into words...

I'm a reasonable man, get off my case

Damn right! I'm listening to that one right now Big%20smile

Seriously, the dynamic quality of the mix in last 2 MotW recordings (atleast in the re-releases) amazes me.

I like them both a lot....it changes from day to day, really.

but typically I tend to think that Bath is a bit better...

Astral Projection is kind of a synonym of sorts for an out-of-body experience, but it's a bit different in many ways, namely that it has more in common with lucid dreaming than with out-of-body experiences, but the difference is;

Astral Projection is much more spiritually based and kind of occult, really, as far as I know. But it is basically a reinterpretation of a lucid dream as far as I can tell.

Lucid dreaming is really cool I think. I wish I could learn to temper my dreams as such...

EDIT: I meant to quote your previous post but people get the point. I answered the question at least, haha.

I have heard that Maudlin Of The Well's Lyrics are about Astral Projection... Is anybody out there who can tell me what it exactly is?

MY DYING BRIDE is one of the best bands on this bloody Earth, and I suggest you should...wait, you all MUST check'em out (who didn't yet). Especially albums like "The Angel and The Dark River" (1995), "Like Gods of the Sun" (1996), "The Dreadful Hours" (2001), "Songs of Darkness, Words of Light" (2004) and DVD "Sinamorata" (2007)

They even were on the Archives here (added by Trickster F.), but later removed (along with KATATONIA)

Sleepy, I am really not good with names, but yeah, I guess you do have the reissue.

Igor, it will came, and you will be happy!

Also, I keep hearing people pseudo-compare this band to My Dying Bride in reviews and the like across the web?

How similar? Obviously not really similar...still.

Basic question is: Worth my checking out?

My Dying Bride? I havnt actually heard them, but they are always put in with the doom metal lot like Anathema , Paradise Lost and Katatonia. Never once heard them described as avant gard metal.

Yes this is what I was thinking...I do NOT think they are avant metal at all, but perhaps they are worth checking out anyway. I shall see....
